Descript

Descript edits audio and video the way you edit a document. That is the core idea: you work from a transcript, and cutting text cuts the recording.

Descript is an AI video and audio editor with transcription, filler word removal, Studio Sound audio cleanup, clip creation, show notes drafts, text-to-speech, voice cloning and avatars.

The free plan gives you 1 transcription hour a month, 720p export and watermarks.

Hobbyist costs $12 a month billed annually and adds 10 transcription hours, 1080p export and no watermark.

Creator costs $24 a month billed annually, with 30 transcription hours, 4k export, eye contact correction and dubbing in 20+ languages.

The free tier is small, so expect to upgrade if you publish regularly.
